Orin or Andy, Do you recall the rootsweb site to search the
ZachariahWells list?
I think we posted a list of kids a few years ago now..
I'm sure I printed it out then & stuffed it in a file somewhere? oh
how the papers & files pile up over the years. . i don't have the
kids names in my computer but will try to dig in the files next week
& see what I can find. I have a King family reunion this weekend
to get the family stuff together to show & tell. <G>
I have a copy of the Sturgill Family books, Vol 1 & 2 from David A.
Sturgill of Piney Creek, NC. 1993. a quick look here. p. 27
mentions a Francis Sturgill appears in Grayson Co Va, tax list. In
1798, he bought two tracts of land from Zacharia Wells furthur up
the river in Ashe Co, NC & in 1799 he was granted 3 tracts adjoining,
one of which included the land on which his father lived, or part of
it. This farm totaled 394 acres and in later deeds is referred to as
the "Wells Place." Francis sold the 500 acres Potato Creek farm to
John Cox in 1802 & moved to the Wells Place. I think later he says
this was Zachariah jr.'s land. David's book has more on the Wells
connection but
i will have to get back with you on all that after the weekend.
